Lost in time and lost in translation


Blame it on the restlessness of today's youth, but delays in any and every form are so excruciating. The more you want things to move faster, the slower they crawl. The line you're not in is always moving faster. Even getting used to it takes time! Maybe it's just our obsession with the don't-wants that brings us more of them. The unattainable is always the most desirable. Of course the unattainable status is what we accord to things and it might not always be the other way round.

There is always too much time for those who don't want a lot of spare moments. Life has a habit of acting in opposition of our wants. It's left to us to tame the tempest and bring about a turn around.A lot of times you've no choice but to put up and shut up. Unless of course if you are determined enough to stop at nothing but the best for yourself. Often it is a delicate balance between the two. People say that nothing happens before its time and before it's meant to. But for how long are you supposed to hang from that rope of hope?Uncertainty isn't always the most exciting thing that can happen to you if you ask me honestly. How long can you grope in the darkness? Yes you reach new places, but there has to be some sign that you are headed in the right direction. How much can you draw from your well of strength? How long do you stand the test of time? Guess we'd never know until we go on, because, the only way out is through.There is always an end to every tunnel and there are always cues if you have the vision enough to look.And to get through you have to move. It is scary moving through darkness and venturing into the unknown. But what's comforting is that we came with nothing that we can loose. This is another of those things worth trying. It's like if you don't like the picture, change the glasses but don't call it quits yet because there is a lot more to it than meets the eye and there is a light at the end of the tunnel and a silver lining to the clouds :-)
